I like it flat with the wind at my back and always have. The one exception for me would be the race, which is good in a raging southwest wind.Used to throw loaded 7" super strike needles right into it and do well. Same with eels and jigs.You can catch fish in all conditions, which I've said here many times. I just don't need to get beat up any more in big surf, at least not intentionally.Especially not in rocky areas, which is where I primarily fish now.
